Failure and Risk; Get Your Head Around it!

“To truly understand failure in your organisation; you first must understand how your organisation reacts to failure”-Sidney decker   The relationship between ‘risk in the business’ and ‘your business’. The risk belongs to the organisation, not the individual. Listen in how and why this the case!   “If you have an activity where there’s a chance that somebody could be seriously harmed or injured… Then the last thing you want to have is a control measure that expects that individual to make the final call on whether to do the job or not… You want a series of controls… checks and balances to make sure that the job is done in a way where you can interact with the risk; you can work along side it and it becomes part of the way you do the job”-Colin Nottage   Remember to share with us your comments, reviews and opinions!   ABOUT THE HOST Colin Nottage   ‘Making health and safety as important as everything else we do.’   This is the belief that Colin is passionate about and through his consultancy Influential Management Group (IMG) is able to spread into industry.
